As soon as Qin Bo said this, everyone was stunned.

Zhou Ruixue even looked anxious and said:

"Young Master Qin, why... why do you have to do this? We've only just met, misunderstandings are inevitable. We'll naturally get along better once we've known each other longer."

Qin Bo shook his head slightly, his expression firm: "Miss Zhou, thank you for thinking of me. But people who walk different paths cannot make plans together. Although I, Qin Bo, come from humble beginnings, I still have my own pride."

With that, Qin Bo cupped his fist slightly at the crowd, turned around, and was about to leave.

Young Master Li snorted coldly when he saw this: "Hmph, what are you pretending to be noble for? It's good that you're leaving, saving us from having to look at you here."

Lin Yu wanted to say something to persuade him to stay.

But seeing Qin Bo's firm steps, he knew that it was useless to say more at this moment and could only sigh secretly.

Zhou Ruixue looked at Qin Bo's back as he turned and left, her heart burning with anxiety.

She knew very well that Qin Bo's strength was extraordinary, and he was someone she had brought here.

She felt bad that Qin Bo had been insulted for no reason.

"Young Master Qin, please wait!"

Zhou Ruixue hurriedly chased after him, grabbing Qin Bo's sleeve in the corridor.

Qin Bo stopped and turned to look at Zhou Ruixue, a hint of helplessness in his eyes:

"Miss Zhou, why do you still want to stop me? I have already made my attitude clear, it is really difficult for me to get along with them."

Zhou Ruixue said anxiously, "Young Master Qin, I understand the grievances in your heart. This time it's all my fault."

"I didn't know Li Yao would target you like this."

Qin Bo smiled slightly and waved his hand.

"It's okay, Miss Zhou, it's not your fault. Actually, I don't think I need to know anyone else. On the path of martial arts, I am enough."

Zhou Ruixue looked at Qin Bo's resolute expression, and became even more anxious in her heart:

"Young Master Qin, although the path of martial arts requires personal perseverance, what we face now is not a simple cultivation predicament."

"The Demon Suppressing Division's assessment involves many forces, and Yunzhou City is about to encounter a Netherworld crisis. It is really too difficult to rely on one person's strength alone."

Qin Bo also knew in his heart that what Zhou Ruixue said was true, but he was naturally proud and unwilling to stay after being treated with such contempt.

"Miss Zhou, I appreciate your kindness. But my mind is made up."

"Those things you mentioned are just stumbling blocks to me. As long as I am strong enough, everything can be leveled."

Zhou Ruixue looked at Qin Bo, her eyes full of worry:

"Young Master Qin, that's true, but the world is treacherous, and many conspiracies are hard to guard against. Even if you are extremely strong, you can't fight against so many people."

Qin Bo smiled slightly, his smile carrying a resolute confidence.

If he were alone, he might still have some worries.

But who was he?!

He was kidding, he was a man with a cheat.

Everything in front of him was like a dream bubble.

Otherwise, he would be letting down his cheat!

Then Qin Bo said.

"Miss Zhou, I understand your worries. But the path of cultivation is about fighting against the heavens and fighting against people."

"If we shrink back because of other people's opinions and unknown conspiracies, then how can we talk about pursuing the peak of martial arts? I believe that as long as I continue to strengthen myself, there will always be a time when the clouds are cleared and the sun is seen."

"All fear comes from insufficient strength!"

Finally, Qin Bo said a profound saying, and then turned and left.

Zhou Ruixue watched Qin Bo's departing back, not moving for a long time.

"Is this your confidence?!"

"Young Master Qin, is this your martial path?"

After leaving, Qin Bo actually encountered Old Taoist Songhe and the others in the martial arts field.

"Seniors, tomorrow night is the night of the full moon, how are your preparations going?"

"There's no problem. Everything is calm inside and outside the city. It seems that the Netherworld won't have any movements. After all, this Fierce thing has been suppressed for decades."

"Yes, we just have to wait for tomorrow night. After the seal, we can suppress it for a few more years."

"That's good."

Qin Bo nodded.

He didn't want this Fierce thing to be rescued. This was a fixed lifespan here. When his strength increased greatly in the future, he would personally take this lifespan away.

An anomaly of the "Fierce" level, presumably its lifespan would not be short.

"Alright, you brat, don't go running around tomorrow night. Once the sealing formation is activated, no one can leave."

Old Taoist Song cautioned him, and the group quickly left the City Lord's Mansion.

After watching Old Taoist Songhe and the others leave, Qin Bo returned to his room in the City Lord's Mansion and began to ponder his next plan.

There was still some time before the sealing ceremony tomorrow night.

And he was eager to improve his strength, after all, the upcoming situation was full of variables.

He sat cross-legged on the bed, circulating his existing cultivation technique, feeling the vital energy slowly flowing through his meridians.

However, with his current cultivation technique, the cultivation speed was really too slow.

It was almost impossible to have a qualitative leap in a short period of time.

"It seems I need to participate in the assessment as soon as possible to obtain a new cultivation technique."

Qin Bo muttered to himself.

Meanwhile, back at the banquet.

After seeing Qin Bo off, Zhou Ruixue returned.

"Miss Zhou, why are you so eager to seek out that kind of commoner?"

Li Yao still spoke impolitely.

Zhou Ruixue obviously didn't want to discuss this issue too much.

"Yes, Miss Zhou, as the City Lord's daughter, please give us more guidance in the future."

Li Yao took the lead in flattering her, completely different from his behavior towards Qin Bo earlier.

The others followed suit with flattery, only the white-clothed Young Master frowned slightly, but he couldn't say anything.

Zhou Ruixue sneered inwardly, but her face remained full of smiles as she toasted and chatted with everyone.

After the banquet dispersed, Zhou Ruixue returned to her room.

She sat by the window, looking at the night sky, her mind filled with thoughts.

She had clearly seen through Li Yao's opportunistic nature tonight.

And Lin Yu, the white-clothed Young Master, had been very polite from beginning to end.

The next morning, the city gate of Yunzhou City was crowded with people.

They were all bringing their families, wanting to escape from here.

But they were blocked at the gate by the city guards.

"Open the gate quickly, I want to visit relatives!"

A middle-aged man shouted anxiously, with his family of five.

"That's right, my grandma passed away, we need to take care of her funeral, what's the meaning of blocking us like this?"

A young woman holding a child cried and shouted, followed by two elderly people.

"Call the City Lord out, why are you blocking our way? We must have an explanation!"

Someone took the lead in stirring up trouble in the crowd, the emotions became more and more agitated, and the scene gradually got out of control.

Zhou Hao, the commander of the city guards, rode on his horse, his expression serious, and shouted loudly:

"Fellow villagers, I'm really sorry. But the City Lord has ordered that the situation in the city is unstable recently, for everyone's safety, you cannot leave the city for the time being. I hope everyone understands."

"Understand? Understand my ass! We've lived in this city for most of our lives, what danger could there be? You're just deliberately making things difficult for us!"

A hot-tempered burly man roared, and was about to rush forward.
